Chapter 125 Return to Rongguo Mansion
Chapter 125 Return to Rongguo Mansion
"First Concubine, Jade Concubine didn't come back until four o'clock last night." The First Concubine was eating lazily when Xiao Lingzi, who was serving beside her, suddenly came over and whispered something in her ear.
Upon hearing this, the eldest wife immediately put down her chopsticks and pondered in her heart, should she go and cause trouble for her now? Or should she wait and see...
She observed the surroundings calmly, and after making sure no one noticed them, she asked softly, "Where did she go? Who was she with? Did you see everything clearly?"
Xiao Lingzi quickly replied, "Reporting to the eldest lady, she went to a hotel.
When I saw her leaving, she was walking along a small path with a maid.
But he came back in a carriage."
After saying this, he carefully observed the expression of the eldest wife.
"Oh, so, these few days, whenever she goes out, you should follow her." After the eldest wife finished speaking, she let Xiao Lingzi go out first and told him seriously, "Don't alert the enemy!"
But the first wife did not dare to touch the second wife easily, and secretly cursed her in her heart.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she called Cailian in again and said with a smile, "Cailian, tell everyone that today the two concubines and Concubine Lan should go to burn incense and pray. Leave Concubine Yu at home."
She wanted to see who Daiyu was going to meet. No one was at the house at the moment, so she wanted to see her go out.
"Miss, today the eldest lady has asked everyone to go burn incense, and asked you to stay and look after the house." Xiaoling came to tell Daiyu early in the morning.
"Okay, I understand. Xiaoling, tell Xiaowan to prepare some things and ask her to go out with me."
Daiyu said this carelessly, looking at the sky outside, thinking: Xiangyun, Zijuan is really a blessing from heaven today. We meet again!
The eldest wife changed into plain clothes, brought the concubine and her group, and came to Jinghui Temple outside the city in a grand manner.
As soon as they left, Daiyu brought Xiaowan and hurried to the hotel where Xiangyun was staying.
Zijuan opened the door and saw Daiyu, and hurriedly let her in.
Xiangyun was sitting on the bed. When she saw Daiyu coming, she hurried over and hugged her.
Finally meeting again, they happily chatted and drank tea.
Suddenly, Zijuan seemed to have thought of something and said anxiously, "Since the young lady came so early today, why don't we go to the old lady's place? I wonder what's going on in the mansion."
When Daiyu heard Zijuan say this, her heart tightened and her thoughts instantly drifted to the old lady.
She thought to herself: "Yeah, I wonder how grandma is doing now?" Thinking of this, she became more and more worried.
After a while, everyone decided to go to the Jia Mansion to visit the old lady while everyone was together today.
So they got on a carriage together and set off for the Jia Mansion.
Along the way, Daiyu was in a heavy mood and kept praying in her heart that the old lady would be safe.
At the same time, every little detail of the Jia family came to Daiyu's mind.
As the carriage moved forward, Rongning Street appeared before her eyes, and Daiyu's heart became more and more nervous...
In Jinghui Temple, after offering incense, the eldest wife and her group found a meditation room to rest.
The eldest wife sat quietly in the meditation room, listening to the monks chanting scriptures and reciting Buddha's name outside, and couldn't help but pray in her heart: I hope everything goes well for the prince, and then I can help my adoptive father with this.
She immediately closed her eyes silently, placed her hands on her chest, and silently called out in her heart: Amitabha, Amitabha...
Just as she was silently chanting Buddha's name, Xiao Lingzi came in.
Xiao Lingzi quietly walked up to the eldest wife and whispered, "Eldest wife, she went out. I followed them to the hotel they stayed in that day."
The eldest wife opened her eyes instantly, stared at Xiao Lingzi and said, "And then?"
Xiao Lingzi whispered in the ear of the eldest lady, "When they came out, they were followed by a few girls, and then they went to the Jia Mansion together!"
"She went to the Jia Mansion? You go and follow her. I will go back home early and ask her in person what happened!" After saying this, the eldest lady closed her eyes again and motioned Xiao Lingzi to go out.
The eldest wife said silently in her heart: Compassionate Bodhisattva, I have no choice but to do all this!
I can't watch my man being snatched away by someone else, nor can I watch my wife being snatched away!
Please have mercy on me, Buddha, and forgive me for everything I have done!
Then the eldest wife began to kowtow to the Buddha statue in the meditation room. She never believed in retribution in the underworld, but for the sake of her future life, she was still a little afraid in her heart.
She could only kowtow to relieve her anxiety...
Daiyu and her companions' carriage soon arrived at the gate of the Jia Mansion, but in order not to attract attention, they had to go through the back door.
Daiyu remembered that evening when she and Jiaorou arrived at the gate of the Jia Mansion, and at that time she couldn't help but want to go in and see her grandmother.
But she couldn't go in until everything was planned.
Zijuan asked the coachman to drive the carriage to a secluded corner where Daiyu, Xiangyun and others were waiting.
She quietly went to find the maids at the back door and asked them to call Yuanyang out and discuss with her to see if there was any good way to get in.
Xiangyun held Daiyu's hand tightly. Daiyu's hands were full of sweat. She was very nervous.
"Sister Lin, Yun'er will accompany you..." Xiangyun said, and patted Daiyu's shoulder gently again.
"Well, Yun'er, I'm fine." Daiyu said slowly, her heart pounding and she felt like she could hardly breathe.
Over such a long time, she deliberately forgot many details about the Jia family, but Grandmother Jia was the only one she could not let go.
She was worried about Lady Jia's health and afraid of hearing bad news about her.
Time passed minute by minute, and Daiyu and her group were still waiting there.
Daiyu looked at everything around her helplessly, and she couldn't wait to see Lady Jia.
However, all this had to be arranged properly, and neither Xiangyun nor his own identities could be made public.
So there is no need to see anyone else except my grandmother.
They just waited quietly in that little corner...
The eldest wife said to Cailian coldly, "Cailian, go to Cuizhu Garden and tell her what I said. Ask Yufujin to come to my room."
The eldest wife returned home, took off her plain clothes and put on a Manchu dress.
She looked at herself in the mirror and thought: In this mansion, I still have the final say, and we'll see what happens, Concubine Yu!
Cai Lian hurried to Cuizhu Garden and saw that both Yu Fu Jin and Xiao Wan were gone.
Only Xiaoling was doing needlework in the side room. She hurriedly asked, "Xiaoling, where is your concubine?"
Xiaoling was concentrating on embroidering flowers when she was startled by Cailian.
She immediately stood up and said evasively, "Sister Cailian, Concubine Yu has gone out and will be back soon!"
Cai Lian had no choice but to tell her: "Yu Fu Jin is back. Go to Da Fu Jin's place. Da Fu Jin wants to see her for something!"
Xiaoling was so scared that she said to herself: "Girl, you will be okay,
Why have you been out for so long and still not back? Didn't the Grand Concubine find out that you left the house without permission?"
